Fabulous Fathers

By -

The kids were excited to to be together with family to celebrate Daddy and Pops! 
Charlie was eager to start celebrating by making Aaron breakfast in bed. When he came in at 6:30 with a notepad and pen in hand ready to take notes on how to make breakfast, I decided it was time to get up and help him. We had a good time making waffles and bacon. They turned out yummy and Charlie was happy to climb into bed to eat some while watching cartoons with Daddy.

Sarah Graves slept in but was happy to help prepare by wrapping gifts!

We went out for brunch and got quite the surprise when we arrived and they were only serving a buffet. The food was good, but not quite what we expected!
These sweet kids loved on each other and our server impressed us with her Harry Potter knowledge!


We came home and enjoyed this yummy dessert buffet! I made blueberry pie and Sarah Graves made chocolate cake! She was tickled to write on it with icing all by herself. 


She came up with this fun idea to turn her footprint into a car. She has some creative ideas!

Charlie was pleased to give Pops his card that used pipe cleaners to make a picture of Pops driving the jet ski! 

Sarah Graves helped Lovie shop for and wrap Pops' gifts, so she was tickled for him to open the Go Pro and accessories!

Our day was complete with naps and Aaron and the kids watching Captain Marvel.

It reminded me of an infographic. The Frozen theme was a lot of fun! There were so many things to choose from that I took to pinterest and eventually decided on the ideas that I would use for this party. I found this great Arendelle banner here on Pinterest I was so grateful that my sister did a snowflake Christmas and had tons of snowflake ornaments to hang as decorations! This party theme was a lot of fun to plan the food. Kristoff's ice cubes were made from Jell-o with an ombre effect. I found the recipe here on Pinterest. I doubled the recipe to make a 13x9 size pan of it and I made 2 13x9 pans of it. The made plenty of "ice cubes" to fill 35 cups. They turned out really cute! My parents made this Elsa cake and did a fabulous job

Cloth vs. Disposable

By -
We have mostly been planning to do disposable diapers because I felt that cloth would just be too much work when I go back to work.  Then, we saw these diapers called happy heiny's ( www.happyheinys.com ).  These looked much different than what I envisioned cloth diapers to look like.  Mom used cloth diapers with me and Jeanne', so she felt totally up for using them while Sarah Graves is at her house.  I started looking into the cost comparison and depending on what type of cloth diapers you buy, you can save anywhere from $1200 - $1700.  That is pretty attractive, not to mention knowing that you aren't filling up a landfill somewhere.  There are lots of different varieties of cloth diapers out there, but the ones that seem to be a good investment and user friendly are diapers that have snap closures, with a pocket for an insert to absorb the contents, and they are one size that adjusts as your baby grows from a newborn up to 35 pounds.  You can also purchase the traditio
